Holley LS Swap Oil Pan vs Cheaper Knockoff!

We compare the Holley 302-2 LS swap oil pan to its popular competitor.
Which one will you choose for your project?

[@aldoortega9784]

Id go for the knockoff b/c it has more built into it. You save b/c your not paying for the holley name, which wont be seen when its installed.

[@davidsharp922]

I have installed many of the chinese pans. Never had a problem. And honestly, if you need instructions you probably should be doing something different.

[@Beefwellington0122]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!

The rough spots are just burnt sand during the casting process. The molder didn't remove those bits of sand or glue that hold the cores in the sand mold. It's very common in almost anything cast.

I bought a pan from ebay I didn't know it didn't have a oil sensor so now I have to pull the pan out 😊 and the oil filter screw is different you have to use the original

[@kxgotdirt]

Amazon for the win! I paid 211 shipped

[@67_cst_chevy44]

Deep motor on ebay has them for 169.99 free shipping.

[@limitlessautomedia9794]

Now they are like $120, I got mine for 160 with LS3 dipstick.

Tried to install this into my 1989 gta Firebird, the knockoff. With all Holley stuff the sides of the pan that go to the edge rub against the k member. Just a heads up

[@randysmith4381]

Does the Chinese one clear the inner tie rods on a a body Chevelle

[@protouringstore]

Nope! They are generally much worse than the Holley. Which motor mounts do you have? I’ve used the adjustable ones and moved it back enough to clear before.

[@randysmith4381]

I haven’t purchased any yet Could you recommend me some thanks

[@randysmith4381]

From what I read They say to run the mounts that slide the motor back

[@pawpatina]

any idea what oil filter these use? the 1007 K&N stock F body filter doesnt work...

[@limitlessautomedia9794]

Now this item sells for around 120-160

[@Gold_Medal_31]

You had me until you started comparing the box qualities

[@protouringstore]

Lol, that's fair! Gotta be thorough man.. Same box would further indicate the same factory.

[@lilpoindexter]

go ahead and pay $500 more for your warranty card bub

[@TheStroupdog]

200$ difference.

[@79huddy]

The lighter color is because its cheaper aluminum 319 or 356 are light colored the more magnesium it has the darker it gets almag takes heat cycles better and takes a impact without fracturing better you can bend Almag and 356. 319 is not very malleable and expands more than Almag or 356 when heated

[@protouringstore]

Interesting, good to know! Thanks!

[@tevinhightower5500]

You don’t need instructions. Be a man!

[@dickmick5517]

I would have been interested in the difference in weight, if any?
